Late Winter has returned to Northern California!

I had plans to cycle today, but it's so dang chilly here, I just turned on the heat! It looks like it wants to rain, but it hasn't yet. I guess I'll just snuggle up in bed and read the rest of the late papers I received on Monday and Wednesday. How's the weather where you are? We've had a nice, sunny and cool Spring, but today is a bit over the top, or under the top. Or something. I hope it rains a bit, and then clears up so I can get a little cycling in.

@shubhu3 I'm sure people will continue to speak of "drought" here, though.

We had a rather hot Friday and now today it is cold and rainy. Just wait five minutes. I like the weather like this. Wish it would last. I am afraid we are in for a hot one this summer. Ugh!

@Hatley It's still really calm here. It feel like about 62 out. I'm going to water the plants at Ground Squirrel Gardens and then think about lunch and a quick cycle.

Interestingly enough, I planned on taking a nice brisk walk at our local park today. In my case, it was just too hot and muggy. I'll trade ya!?! Or maybe we can split the difference. I'll send some of our heat and you send some of your chill.

Sounds like a reasonable trade. I'll try to borrow about 10 degrees from you. I see the sun now, so I turned off my heater.

I understand your frustration. Here, we had a magnificent autumn until last week and now the rain and cooler temperatures have arrived. Winter is trying to creep in.

The sun came out a little at about 11:00, which is an improvement. It has been May Gray all day and evening. Such a pain. But, it's still only 63 F. I prefer a little more warmth, so I can walk around outside without my lungs complaining.

I finally see the sun breaking through a bit here as well. I hope it warms up a bit more there, so you can get outside if you choose.

@TheHorse According to weather dot com, which is usually correct, we won't get real sunshine until a week from now. I'm going to go to the mall if it's too cool to walk outside. I'm starting to feel soft and mushy.

Texas has had it's share already of the May rains @TheHorse and I'm sick of it, but then again, I'm not ready for the over 100 degree temps either.

Down here it feels like fall and I love it. Today was some awesome weather. I heard La Nina is coming and they said it was going to be a cool fall, but I am hoping they mean the summer also. I can't take another summer like last year. lol That was brutal. Like 3 months of 100 degree plus with few breaks in between.
